Sizing
Maya Wraps
The Maya Wrap Baby Sling comes in three sizes. Small fits people below 157cms and slender. Medium fits those 157cms to 175cms. Large fits those above 175cms.
We stock Medium which fits most people. Please contact us if you would like to order another size.
Hotslings
Correct sizing for pouch slings is essential for the happiness of both parent and baby. Please see Sizing Table below to work out the right size for you.
We carry all fabrics in sizes 2 to 5 in the Hotslings pouches. Please contact us if you require another size as we carry a selection of fabrics in other sizes.
To measure from shoulder to hip: use a soft tape measure and start at the outer corner of your shoulder and measure diagonally across your body down to your hip bone. The number (in inches) should be in the 20s.

Notes on fit: Everyone is different. What they can and can't tolerate is largely preferential. Some people can wear more than one size and that's OK. It's like going to the clothing store and being able to buy jeans in both a size 6 and a size 8. They both fit, maybe one's slightly looser. Hotslings non-stretch reversibles tend to be a bit more snug than stretch cotton pouches. If your stretch cotton pouch is a bit snug, consider a bigger size on the reversible.
Too Small: feels uncomfortably tight, digs into baby's legs, it's hard to get baby in.
Too Big: baby feels insecure, your legs bump the baby as you walk, your back aches after a short time, sling slips off your shoulder.
Ellaroo Mei Tais
The Mei Tais are one size fits all
Ellaroo wraps
68.5 cms wide and several lengths:
* 2.7 m rebozo-length (Good for hip/cradle carry, hot weather, and quick trips!)
* 3.6 m (Good for short wraps: short cross, rucksack, hip cross, etc.)
* 4.2 m up to 63 kilos and 1.70 m
* 4.6 m up to 82 kilos and 1.82 m
* 5.0 m over 82 kilos and 1.82 m
If you have a particularly long torso, or wear a large bra size, please choose one size larger than suggested above.
We stock 3.6m and 4.6m wraps as these sizes tend to meet most people's needs. Please contact us if you would like to order other sizes.
Ellaroo ring slings
Most people will use a Medium sling - approx. 188cms excluding rings. Very petite people, e.g. 1.57m and 45kgs, may use a Small. Larger moms and dads, e.g. size 20, will use a Large. The slings are all the same width (approx. 60cms), but they vary in length by about 15cms.
We carry Mediums which fit most people in the Ring Slings and a few choices in other sizes. Please contact us if you would like to order a size other than a Medium.
Ergo carriers
Adjusts for most sizes, waist circumference extends from 63.5 cms up to 109 cms and with the additional Waist Extender 20 cms can be added. Please contact us if you would like to order the waist extender.
Peanut Shell
To help find your correct size take your shoulder to hip measurement (across from one shoulder tothe opposite hip bone) and chest measurement (around your body right under your armpits). See the chart below will help you find your size. Most people will fall into 2 sizes so take the body height and types in to account as well to help you pick your size.

Consider your height and torso length when ordering. If you are tall and falling in between sizes consider ordering the larger size and if you are short and falling in between sizes order the smaller size. Your Peanut Shell™ size will most likely be what your fitted t-shirt size would be.
If you still have questions regarding sizing please do not hesitate to contact us.
Please note that Peanut Shell do cut the stretchy fabrics smaller to accommodate for the stretch. However, some people can still go down a size in the micro-fleece and jersey due to the stretch. If you are falling in between sizes and are ordering a jersey or micro-fleece consider ordering the smaller size.
